Give it 20 years and AI may be the most important thing mankind has ever created.

And it may not be. We need to judge it on what it can do today, not 20 years from now. And today it's pretty useless.

> today it's pretty useless.

This is quite the statement. Even my elderly father finds it incredibly useful. And he doesn't even know how to turn up his iPhone ringer (which BTW it helps him with).

It's been pretty great for me. I don't know Python but was able to use Google Antigravity to make a script that composites meteor trails from hours of video footage. This would've easily taken me 12 hours without AI. It also wrote a grease monkey script that automates a website I use.

I have been reading the same since the 70s.

Sorry if I think your comment is a joke.
